Women’s and Gurls’ Skill Share Conference
Three days of workshops ranging from puppetry and singing to basic tools and auto mechanics to sewing and herbalism. All of the workshops will be taught by people who identify as women and attendance is open to any gender or sex. The overall goal of the conference is not to teach specific skills in their entirety, but to empower women with some basic traditional “boy” (ie: auto mechanics, welding) and “gurl” (ie: canning, knitting) knowledge and to “de-mystify” certain skills. In addition to workshops, discussions will be held at the conference dealing with gender issues, sexism, your legal rights, radical women in radical politics and more. At CELLspace, 2050 Bryant, SF.

Permanent Autonomous Zones Conference
The first annual conference about Permanent Autonomous Zones, a concept named by Hakim Bey and fleshed out by many people in practice. This conference aims to promote the institutions we are creating to provide alternatives to those controlled by government or profit-motivated forces. A PAZ is any continuous space, group, co-op, or individual effort accessible to a community that is founded on anti-authoritarian principles and autonomy within an egalitarian community. Anyone interested in creating a PAZ, improving a PAZ, or learning more about PAZs in general., come on in. We are looking for action-oriented people and not simply “idea people.” Pre-register: Conference PO Box 4964 Louisville, KY 40204; include SASE. www.infoshop.org/PAZ

World Trade Organization global meeting
In view of what happened in Seattle, the WTO scheduled its next global meeting for the tiny, politically-closed nation of Qatar. It may be impossible to shut down the WTO in Qatar (or even get there-only accredited officials will be allowed into the country, so a global general strike with thousands of simultaneous, coordinated attacks on corporate/capitalist targets everywhere else is the next best thing. Start planning now to shut down your local stock exchange, banking district, mall, factory, mine, or oil field. The Global Exchange crowd are suggesting a global “Qatar Flu” sick-out.
